Jose Reyes Fantasy Stats

Shortstop Jose Reyes announced his retirement on Wednesday. Reyes is most notable for his two tenures with the New York Mets, but also suited up for the Miami Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays and Colorado Rockies over his 16 year career. The four-time All-Star finished his career with a .283 batting average, 145 home runs and 517 stolen bases.

Free-agent infielder Jose Reyes plans to play in 2019. Reyes will turn 36 next June and hit a pathetic .189/.260/.320 with four home runs, 16 RBI and five stolen bases for the Mets in 228 at-bats. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal as a utility player somewhere and is no longer on the fantasy radar.

New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes will lead off and play shortstop versus righty Trevor Richards on Saturday. Reyes has been a part-time player this season, but hasn't done anything with the bat to earn a bigger role. The Mets could be giving Reyes a "farewell tour", so we could see him in the lineup on Sunday as well. Regardless, he's not worth using for fantasy.

New York Mets infielder Jose Reyes (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Amed Rosario will play shortstop and bat ninth against righty Marco Estrada. Reyes should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues. Rosario is worth a look in NL-only leagues and could be an option in the middle infield in deep mixed leagues.

New York Mets infielder Jose Reyes (rest) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. Amed Rosario is back at shortstop and batting eighth against righty Ivan Nova. Reyes did start three straight contests but is back on the bench now. He's struggled heavily all season long and belongs on the waiver wire in almost all leagues. Rosario is worth adding in NL-only leagues and deeper mixed leagues but is not an option for DFS on Wednesday.

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario will sit at least a couple of games during the team's series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. According to manager Mickey Callaway, This young kids still trying to develop at the major league level, and these couple days will allow him to get some work done in the cage, some work done on the field tomorrow, taking ground balls and things like that. In his place, veteran Jose Reyes will start for the Mets. Rosario has had a disappointing season thus far, but his potential makes him worth holding on to, at least for dynasty players. Standard league players can leave both Rosario and Reyes on the waiver.

The New York Mets have apparently discussed releasing infielder Jose Reyes. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the team is conflicted given Reyes history with the ball club and would like to give him a proper sendoff. A proper sendoff would be great if Reyes werent hitting .141/.208/.197, and if the Mets didnt need to figure out if theyre going to try and contend or sell this season. Regardless of what happens in the immediate future, its clear that Reyes days as a productive Major Leaguer are over.

With the New York Mets activating both reliever Anthony Swarzak and third baseman Todd Frazier on Tuesday, a common thought had been the end was near for infielder Jose Reyes. However, that was not to be, as the team designated reliever Buddy Baumannfor assignment and demoted reliever Gerson Bautista. Its a curious decision by the Mets, who certainly have younger talent in the minors that could improve over anything Reyes has done this season. The 34-year-old is slashing .141/.208/.197 with one home run and two stolen bases across 77 plate appearances, hardly justifying his place on the roster. Perhaps the team is banking on another hot second half like Reyes provided last year, but we wouldnt bet on that whatsoever. Reyes shouldnt be owned in any leagues at the moment.

New York Mets infielder Jose Reyes had a very hot second half in 2017, but an equally scorching second half in 2018 is going to be just about the only thing that saves his season. Reyes has been terrible all season long, and it does not seem as though those struggles are going to change any time soon. In a 5-1 loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, Reyes did pick up a hit and a walk, finishing 1-for-2, but it was only his third hit in his last 19 at-bats. For the season, Reyes slash line sits at .145/.203/.200 (.403 OPS) with one home run, five runs scored and one RBI. He has two stolen bases while getting caught stealing once. The once dynamic player is a shell of his former self and is sadly nearing the end of the line. It goes without saying Reyes shouldnt be owned in any leagues right now.

The New York Mets' roster is currently crowded with players who don't have much of a set position, but have experience at multiple places around the field. Two of those players, infielders Jose Reyes and Wilmer Flores, will now get even more experience with outfield reps in spring training. Reyes did play a minuscule amount there in 2017 (two appearances for 6 1/3 innings); Flores has never played beyond the infield. While it remains to be seen how effective either could be in the outfield, it's a good move by the Mets who are likely to carry only four outfielders on Opening Day with Michael Conforto's injury keeping him out until May. Still, neither will carry much fantasy value regularly -; although Flores is always a fantastic play against lefties in DFS formats.
